Hailed as both “charming and terrifying,” this unforgettable memoir traces one family's escape from Nazi Austria.
YORBA LINDA, CA, UNITED STATES, June 11, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- In “A Thousand Kisses: A Family’s Escape From the Nazis to a New Life,” author John W. Weiser offers a poignant and riveting account of his family’s flight from Nazi-controlled Vienna and their eventual resettlement in the United States. This deeply personal memoir is also a sweeping, multi-generational story of survival, love, and resilience—one that resonates powerfully in today’s world of displacement and migration.
In this book, Weiser retraces the path of his parents, Dr. Arthur Gaza Weiser, a successful Jewish urologist, and his wife, as they navigate the chaos of the 1930s Anschluss and the rising tide of antisemitism that engulfed Austria.
What elevates “A Thousand Kisses: A Family’s Escape From the Nazis to a New Life” is Weiser’s narrative clarity and emotional insight. With almost detective-like precision, he excavates memories, family letters, and the cultural fabric of each place they fled—uncovering not just a story of escape, but one of rebuilding identity, home, and hope. The memoir stands as both a tribute to his parents’ enduring love and a broader reflection on the plight of displaced families worldwide.
David Allen of Hollywood Book Reviews calls the memoir a “rare combination of memoir, world history and family folklore that draws you into its charming but terrifying world and leaves you breathless, edified, teary-eyed.” He adds, “Author John Weiser has gifted us not only with a stirring story of his family’s escape from tyranny, but with a historical chronicle that informs, enlightens and saddens as it unfolds.” Read the full review here: https://www.hollywoodbookreviews.com/a-thousand-kisses/.
